Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting It's a breathtaking but somewhat empty waltz through vampirism. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org With its breathtaking cinematography and effectively low-key performances, Kicking Blood is marked a unique spirit of slick delirium, where desire and ennui make strange yet effective bedfellows. Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez The Movie Buff Kicking Blood intends to be a “satire” of what we call “serious” vampire films. Rated: D Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Unfortunately Kicking Blood wants to give a soul to its vampires without having a soul of its own. The result is lethal. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Kicking Blood tries to draw parallels between alcoholism and a vampire's lust for blood, but this boring horror flick fails miserably as a scary movie and as an intended love story. Apr 17, 2022 Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky A movie that takes a unique spin on the vampire genre, bringing a little bit of new to the well loved lore. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

paul r This is one great horror flick. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review antonio v Vampire movies accustomed us with a lot of low budget enchanting works in last years. Just think about My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To from 2020: Kicking Blood could be less extraordinary, much more imperfect than the movie by Jonathan Cuartas, and less original; but it's still deeply atmospherical, existential, and weird at the same time. It seems to tell us not going back to "normality", but how transformation is not just another identity only if it's perpetual Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring as all get out. Don’t waste your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/21/22 Full Review Valerii Ege D Kicking Blood is, unfortunately, wanders in space while trying to make a romantic vampire story. While it focuses on the pleasure that the vampire gets while sucking blood, the movie deviates from its path and misses the target. Actually, a good idea is unfortunately wasted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/22 Full Review Stephen C The greatest 01 hour: and 20 minutes of fantasy and mystery/ thriller action!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/22 Full Review miguel g The first victim's acting was a *little* wooden, and even the lead's, at first, I thought was a little stilted. But she grew on me. And overall this film is worth a watch. It's thoughtful, and the cinematography, acting and dialogue are all good. It's something different--maybe a little like Let the Right One In (though clearly a bit lower budget) and a teensy bit like Romeo and Juliet, even.
